Got deer but want colorful spring flowering bulbs? You need the Deer Resistant Garden Blend (Chionodoxa luciliae, Narcissus 'Dutchmaster') of spring bulbs at Nature Hills Nursery! This absolutely cheerful combination of the blue daisy-like Glory of the Snow Chionodoxa, and tall, lemony yellow Dutchmaster Daffodils, will have you not missing the other more commonplace spring flowers!
Growing just 4-6 inches high and forming low carpets of Crocus-like greenery with their cheerful blue petals and white eyes, Chionodoxa form mounds that spread as wide as you let them over time! The Dutchmaster Daffodil grows up to 18 inches tall when in flower and has long strappy foliage that forms fountains of green, and grows wider into clusters, happily coming up among the mats of Glory of the Snow!
Both bulb plants politely naturalize and spread joy through your garden, this Deer Resistant bulb combo lights up landscapes throughout USDA planting zones 3 to 8. These perennial bulbs are easy to grow and are usually not disturbed by rabbits or squirrels either!
Planting and Application:
Create vivid carpets of blue in the spring with punctuations of bright yellow to enchant the bees and butterflies that are sure to visit your garden this year! The perfect edging accent for your Perennial and Cottage borders, happily cropping up throughout the Rock Garden, or along pathways and sidewalks for a splendid spectacle every year!
There's no need to go big, but who can resist large groupings, en mass plantings, and long rows of these two contrasting hues? But if you don't have the room, or want to fill your courtyards and container gardens with these lovelies, who are we to blame you?
Create showy planters and mixed containers around sunny porches and patios, create window boxes dripping in blue and yellow, or highlight your front stoop with potted spring delights! Use them anywhere in a sunny location without the worry that deer will come by and ruin the party!

- Fantastic Combo of Low Growing & Tall Slender
- Edges, Bedding & Borders, Pathways, Mass Planting & Containers
#ProPlantTips for Care:
Choose a very well-drained full-sun location with moderate yet regular moisture access. Plant the Chionodoxa bulbs a couple of inches deep, but the Daffodil bulbs need to be planted deeper, preferring rich soil with plenty of drainage and a mulched top dressing.
Deadhead after the flowers fade, sometimes encouraging a rebloom, but leave the foliage to make food for the bulbs. Then once the leaves yellow, trim back and clean the area, topping everything with a layer of compost or mulch.
- Full Sun Perennial Bulb Plants
- Fast Growing in Fertile Well-Drained Soil
- Appreciates Mulched Beds & Regular Moisture
- Deadhead After Flowers Fade & Prune Foliage When It Yellows
